I know you listen to NFLSirius, ever heard Pat Kerwin refer to his power rankings? I'm paraphrasing but it's more 'my power rankings that I do because the network makes me do them' , than anything he believes in... Power Rankings are done to generate traffic to websites because people eat it up.... Ever head them read over the radio, in news print, shown on TV? I haven't... |

In fact, I'd bet 90% of all threads on sports forums are about someone's opinion about something. But for some reason power rankings posts are ridiculed and the rest aren't. Sorry, but that seems dumb. Maybe it makes people feel superior by degrading them. Thats kinda sad and pathetic in my opinion, especially when they know its a power ranking thread. Anyhoo, those that can, play. Those that can't, act like they can. |

That being said, I know I have seen you ridicule power rankings before Danno. |

I swear I think some posters actually think others look at the power rankings as if they determined playoff seeding. We all know they don't mean anything, yet some posters insist on stating that ad nauseum as if some of us do think they mean something. Thats who I usually take a jab at. |

Re: PFT Rankings - Saints 5th
Meh, I like 'em, in kind of a 'National Enquirer' sort of way ... I do think this is the first one I saw for this week that didn't have the Saints at #1, so they either know something the others don't or they're totally out of the loop, .
